What’s the difference between Minoxidil and Finasteride?

The main difference between Minoxidil and Finasteride is that Minoxidil combats the effects of DHT on your hair and Finasteride eliminates DHT at the source. Minoxidil increases the blood flow to the hair follicles, which can strengthen hairs and promote hair growth. It is most effective for treating hair loss at the top of the scalp. Finasteride stops the natural production of DHT as a by-product of testosterone production in men’s bodies. It is effective in treating hair loss all over the scalp, including at the hairline.
